Have you have continence issues after a hysterectomy?

Today was my one month checkup after have a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy.

Ever since the surgery I have have some minor continence problems... and I thought it was due to the surgery. I can't "hold it" amazingly long, in other words, when I enjoy to go, I really own to go.

Also, I own tried doing the Kegel excercises like you do after have a baby... and I find it difficult to do them. approaching my muscles aren't working properly.

Today they did a urine test, of late to be sure there be no bacteria, and I be unable to stop the stream of urine while doing the "verbs catch" specimen.

My question is this: The doctor said I wouldn't be have this problem due to the surgery, that I probably just hold weak muscles. but this started exactly at the time of my surgery, and I really thought it be because of the surgery... I was stunned that she said it wasn't.

Has anyone else have this problem? And do you think continuing Kegel excercises will do the trick?

1. "Risks of hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is generally thoroughly safe, but next to any major surgery comes the risk of complications. Such complications include blood clots, infection, excessive bleeding or an adverse sensitivity to the anesthesia.

Other risks of hysterectomy are:

Damage to your urinary tract, bladder or rectum during surgery, which may require further surgical repair
Loss of ovarian function
Early onset of menopause
Talk near your doctor about the risks of surgery as they apply to you."

2. "However, one individual long-term complication may be commoner than expected.

The procedure of hysterectomy can damage the pelvic nerves or the pelvic support structures, any of which may increase the risk of urinary incontinence"

Women help?

I have the same problem and obviously my doctor said the same piece, it wasn't because of the surgery. But he went on to influence it was because of age and I have a bladder lifting surgical procedure, no more incontinence.

Pain in bladder!?

I did not have any such problems after my surgery. Still, for you, I would ask if like peas in a pod doctor who gave you the surgery is describing you that there are no physical reason. It is possible that your dr. messed up, and if so, that doctor is not going to be forth coming in telling you so. I would be checked by a different doctor to see if within is something that was done wrong.

I have my tubes done about 6 years ago ang immediately wanting a baby again so doomed to failure?

sounds like doc is playing "cover my own butt" draw from a second, unbiased inference, or see a specialist
